God is there,I have gone through few things that in one way or another God has been faithful.I worked in a tea plantations in my early stages of life and even after my high school education when I was in college I was a cleaner at harambee house 4th and 5th floor.I used to wake up early and would clean the building between 4:00am to 6:00am before heading to class at 8:00am.One day was I talking to one of the staff members and explained to them that our cleaning company usually take time to pay us. She then asked me if I could work as a watch man, who is Hech k? I don't choose work, immediately I accepted and started my new job. I worked as a watchman for 7 months all night shifts and during the day I was a attending my lessons.
